Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 710: Great Divine Ability

After breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage as a Gold Core completion cultivator, it didn't take much time for Meng Zhang to consolidate his Cultivation Base. Though he had just achieved the Primordial Spirit stage, his foundation was profound and his accumulation sufficient, allowing him to quickly stabilize his Cultivation Base and begin practicing at the Primordial Spirit stage.

With hidden killer moves up his sleeve, he had no fear of engaging with cultivators at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit stage. The commotion caused by his achievement of the Primordial Spirit stage was substantial, and practically all the cultivators in Demon Wind Gobi could sense it unless they were blind.

New Beast King Mountain currently boasted two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, so their disciples should be familiar with the celestial phenomena that occurred when reaching the Primordial Spirit stage. Even if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they must have heard about it from their sect seniors numerous times.

Meng Zhang intentionally spread the news of his achievement to all corners of the Taiyi Sect, making sure he exuded confidence and readiness to face the challenges ahead.

However, he didn't rush to leave seclusion. Being newly at the Primordial Spirit stage, he had much work to do. Fortunately, he had obtained numerous scriptures from the independent space of the Void Cauldron, which saved him from the struggles that loose cultivators faced when exploring new realms.

Regarding what to do after entering the Primordial Spirit stage, the sequence of cultivation, and how to strengthen different aspects of his abilities, Meng Zhang could find satisfactory answers in the records left by Taiyi Sect seniors who had achieved the Primordial Spirit stage.

Originally, his main cultivation technique was the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra," which deeply elaborated on the Yin Yang Grand Dao and suited his physique. However, the true core of this technique was the "Sun-Moon Avenue." When he achieved the Primordial Spirit True Monarch stage, he chose the Yin Yang Grand Dao as his fundamental Grand Dao.

Thus, his future cultivation in the Primordial Spirit stage would focus on the Yin Yang Grand Dao. Before the Primordial Spirit stage, cultivators mainly strengthened their physical bodies and refined the True Essence within their bodies. In the Primordial Spirit stage, the main cultivation task was to comprehend the Grand Dao of heaven and earth and master the power of Grand Dao.

After entering the Primordial Spirit stage, cultivators adjusted their main cultivation techniques. As long as they didn't choose techniques that were completely opposite, it wouldn't require much effort. Meng Zhang selected a new cultivation technique from Taiyi Sect's inheritance called the "Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Transformation" as his new main cultivation technique. He didn't completely abandon the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra" but used it as an auxiliary cultivation technique.

Among these abilities, the "Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword" and the "Sun-Moon Radiance" were the first to be upgraded to Great Divine Abilities. Shortly after he started cultivating the "Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Transformation," he also mastered another Great Divine Ability, the "Yin-Yang Escape." The Yin-Yang Escape was not only a method for travel and escape but also a technique to defeat enemies.@@novelbin@@

With three Great Divine Abilities at his disposal, Meng Zhang had a certain level of combat power even though he hadn't learned any Dao Techniques yet. However, he was still lacking a Fourth Rank magic tool, which was the main weakness in his current arsenal.

Most Fourth Rank magic tools in the Cultivation World evolved from Third Rank magic tools over time, but Meng Zhang's cultivation time was relatively short, so his magic tools hadn't had enough time to grow and evolve. His Yin Yang Spirit Gourd, for example, was still only a Third Rank magic tool.

Despite the excitement among his disciples due to his advancement to the Primordial Spirit stage, Meng Zhang remained calm and focused on cultivating in seclusion.

The news of Meng Zhang becoming a Primordial Spirit True Monarch quickly spread like a storm, and the surrounding forces of Taiyi Sect reacted differently. The major members of the Hanhai Dao League immediately became loyal to Taiyi Sect, severing their connections with the outside world.

The Yellow Lotus Sect's East River Branch and Fire Cloud Sect in the Endless Sea of Sand quickly reacted as well, shrinking their territories and returning them to Taiyi Sect without resistance. Facing a newly promoted Primordial Spirit True Monarch, these two forces had no power to resist.

Some considered Meng Zhang's advancement to the Primordial Spirit stage as a natural progression, given that he had already been a Gold Core late stage cultivator many years ago. However, those who understood the difficulty of achieving the Primordial Spirit stage knew how exceptional his feat was.

In Demon Wind Gobi, it was exceedingly rare to have a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, and many talented Gold Core Daoist Masters had fallen before reaching this stage. Even the Endless Sea of Sand, except for the time during the Purple Gold Sect's rule, had not produced a Primordial Spirit True Monarch. During the Flying Swan Sect's rule, there was no Primordial Spirit True Monarch born in the surrounding vast areas.

Meng Zhang's rise from leading a weak sect to breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage was truly unexpected. However, those who thought it was natural were mostly low-level cultivators or ignorant individuals who didn't comprehend the immense difficulty of achieving the Primordial Spirit stage.

Nevertheless, those with insight knew that with Meng Zhang becoming a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, the situation in Demon Wind Gobi was about to change drastically.

Many cultivation forces in the vicinity quickly reacted to the news. The major members of the Hanhai Dao League immediately became loyal to Taiyi Sect, severing their connections with the outside world. The Yellow Lotus Sect's East River Branch and Fire Cloud Sect in the Endless Sea of Sand also quickly shrunk their territories and returned them to Taiyi Sect without resistance.

Meng Zhang's achievement of the Primordial Spirit stage was already known far and wide, and its impact was akin to a storm, sweeping across all directions.

Fire Cloud Sect is backed by True Monarch Profound Wind. However, True Monarch Profound Wind is an outsider and has many hidden motives when it comes to using Fire Cloud Sect. He doesn't wholeheartedly consider Fire Cloud Sect's interests. Since Fire Cloud Sect lacks the ability to control True Monarch Profound Wind, they naturally try to avoid conflicts with other Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.

Both the East River Branch and Fire Cloud Sect voluntarily retreated and returned everything they had taken, which made Taiyi Sect stop pressuring them. Taiyi Sect had bigger enemies to deal with, and these two sects had powerful backers, making it challenging to completely crush them.

The other forces causing trouble in Demon Wind Gobi also became quiet. They closed their doors and passively observed the changes in the situation.

New Beast King Mountain, Taiyi Sect's biggest enemy, also paused all actions and awaited decisions from their high-ranking members. Shortly after, all cultivators associated with New Beast King Mountain in Demon Wind Gobi received instructions from the sect. They stopped encroaching on Taiyi Sect's territory and maintained the status quo.

In addition, the cultivators from New Beast King Mountain who were operating in Jiuqu City also abandoned their plans due to Meng Zhang's achievement of the Primordial Spirit stage. Meng Zhang, as a new Primordial Spirit True Monarch, now belonged to Jiuqu League and automatically became a Jiuqu League Senator.

Every Primordial Spirit True Monarch in Jiuqu League naturally becomes a Senator, and the Senate is the highest authority governing all affairs within Jiuqu League. Even those Senators who are uninterested in Jiuqu League affairs have certain basic rights.

Meng Zhang, as a new Senator, would naturally have people seeking his allegiance and passing information to him. Any proposal from the Jiuqu League high-ranking members concerning Taiyi Sect required prior communication with Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang's Primordial Spirit achievement elevated his status significantly. His pure background and history made him someone that the Jiuqu League high-ranking members could trust. Some of the Senators even considered trying to recruit Meng Zhang.

However, mature and cautious cultivators would not act rashly; they would first observe Meng Zhang's actions. If he became arrogant and acted without restraint after becoming a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, he wouldn't be deemed trustworthy.

The actions of New Beast King Mountain against Taiyi Sect over the years had already been noticed by the Jiuqu League high-ranking members. Both sides were watching each other carefully, and the situation had attracted significant attention.

Meng Zhang was not in a hurry. He had patience and would wait for the right time. Even if New Beast King Mountain pretended to be unresponsive, Meng Zhang would patiently continue to wait.

In the meantime, Meng Zhang needed time to practice new secret techniques and master more unique methods of the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs. He focused on cultivation during his seclusion, and he could clearly feel himself getting stronger every minute.

Visitors kept coming to the Taiyi Sect gate. Most of them were coming to inquire about the latest news and confirm Meng Zhang's successful breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit stage. Some guests arrived with valuable gifts, hoping to establish a relationship with Taiyi Sect.

However, at this moment, the visitors were mostly minor figures and not worthy of Meng Zhang's personal reception. Taiyi Sect had arranged clever disciples to receive these visitors.

The important figures were still observing from afar and hadn't made their move yet.

Despite being in seclusion, Meng Zhang was not idle and made several subtle moves. He knew his own limits and didn't let the Primordial Spirit stage get to his head. He understood that New Beast King Mountain's strength and foundation were still superior to Taiyi Sect's. Becoming a Primordial Spirit True Monarch only improved the situation but didn't fundamentally change the problem.

Facing such a formidable enemy, Taiyi Sect needed careful consideration and perhaps even new allies who could participate in the struggle among Primordial Spirit sects.
